This patent describes a furnace comprising: a pot with an open top for holding fuel during the burning process, an elongate tube connecting at the outfeed end thereof with the interior of the pot and extending laterally therefrom, and an elongate rotable auger extending within the tube for moving fuel along the length of the tube and thence into the pot, perforate means formed in the side of the pot, and air-flow-producing means including power-driven blower means. A structure connects with the blower means producing air flow by the blower means outside the perforate means and through the perforate means to the pot interior for supporting combustion. Another structure connects with the blower means producing air flow by the blower means through the tube and out the outfeed end thereof to further support combustion and to inhibit reverse air flow through the tube.
